Quick Tread System

by Hunter Engineering

Hunter’s Quick Tread drive over tread depth system uses point cloud technology to automatically measure the tread depth of each tire without a time loss. The unit detects tread grooves to report up to six measurements per tire. Results are displayed on the console and also presented on an easy-to-understand printout that recommends tire replacement by showing a three-dimensional model of the customer's tread.

The system uses Hunter’s WinAlign software to process measurements in seconds. This system requires no internet connection and stores tread depth records to create a customer history for the tire retailer’s marketing efforts.

Quick Tread is much faster than manual inspection and captures accurate tread information on vehicle traffic. Quick Tread is built for a shop environment and features powder-coated stainless steel to resist corrosion.

Heavy duty vehicle lift manufacturer Stertil-Koni now offers an adapter kit tailored for its inground scissor and piston lifts, which engage the front and rear lifting points on trucks for more efficient lifting.
